A friend
Lorra left immediately after Femi had left. She was so upset and I could tell by the way he she murmured and walked. But I couldn't care less... I stayed at the whole house alone without knowing where and how to do something's in the house. When I was lost on things to do....I would call Hussain who countless rejected coming into the house even if Lorra wasn't around.
I wandered around the whole apartment...moving from room to room looking for a place that would look like a visitors bedroom...but I couldn't find...all the rooms were looking so furnished and well decorated with very expensive Furniture and room decor.
While wandering and searching...I found a very large family picture that was laying at the back of a standing fan in one of the rooms. And then I recalled not seeing any pictures on the wall while entering the house....I went straight into the room out of curiosity to look at the photo...Then I recognized someone in the picture. Immediately, I picked up the picture to have a proper look on at it....but something wasn't right with it..why was Sarah on lorra's family picture?just as I was trying to dust the picture...I noticed that someone had entered the sitting room and that person wasn't Hussain.
"Lorra!!!"
The voice sounded like a man's voice and I hurriedly went to the sitting room to look..
"Rita"
Here came another time that I couldn't speak but just look. My brain totally went blank and i just stood still.
"What are you doing here?" He asked me in so much surprise..
"B... Brian..what are you doing here?"
"I should be asking you that question.....and what are you doing on a wheelchair chair?"
"It's a long story"
"I have been trying to call you but to no avail..what happened to you?"
"I had an accident"
"Then You should be in the hospital and not here"
"You wouldn't understand"
"Does Lorra even know you are here?"
"You think I jumped through the fence?"
"That was not what I meant....."
"Well ...like I said it's a long story and yes...Lorra knows I am here"
"Where is she?"
"She left with her fiancee"
"Her what...?"
"Her fiancee.."
"Are you sure it was her fiancee or you just saw her with a random man"
"He is the one I am involved in and not Lorra"
"Whattt?"
"Are you close to Lorra?"
"Eh...eh...I ...eh we are just friends"
That was when I knew that he was lying....he was close with Lorra but definitely not friends with her.
"Did she tell you when she would be back?"
"No"
"Okay....so how are you?"
"I am okay."
"Actually....I am in a bit of a hurry right now.when next I come around this area I will stop by to see you,okay?"
"Okay"
I nodded and then he Rushed out. Brian had never looked that angry and lost before.something was going on and he didn't want me to know'it must be something serious' I thought to myself. But on the other hand I wondered why and how Lorra as involved with Brian...He didn't come into the house like a visitor or a friend. He came into the house like he had been there before or even lived there. It was not my business so I didn't bother to think about it....
I sat at the sitting room all day watching TV shows and Documentaries. I didn't eat or drink anything for the whole day...I just sat there looking like a statue...till I slept off.
The loud sound of the door hitting the other woke me up...then I noticed Lorra was back.
"Hi"
I managed to say... still struggling to open my sleepy eyes.
"Are you still here?"
I didn't understand the question at first....I mean, was I supposed to go somewhere else?
"I don't understand"
"Oh....I ..I am so sorry rita.i thought you were someone else.how are you?have you eaten?"
"There was nothing in the fridge and I didn't want to enter your kitchen"
"Oh my God I am so sorry but I don't cook.i don't like cooking and my private chef is off duty...would you be able to make indomie if I sent Hussain to get you one?"
"Yeah,of course"
"Hussain! Hussain! Hussain!"
He came running immediately she called him.
"I want you to go outside and get indomie for my guest.okay?"
"Okay,ma"
Then she brought out her card and gave it to him.
"You know my pin already"
"Yes,ma" he collected the card and ran outside to get the indomie.
"Just wait outside for him,okay?"
"Outside?" I asked her in confusion.
"Yes,you will be cooking in his kitchen not mine"
"His kitchen?you mean Hussain's kitchen?"
"I am sorry but I do not allow just anyone to enter my kitchen except from My chef and relatives... Hussain's kitchen is the only place a stranger can cook"
"Wow"
Just 'Wow'...
"I will be inside Incase you need anything "
Then she entered one of the rooms.
What a fiancee' I thought....after waiting for about ten minutes.. Hussain came knocking on the door with a nylon...then I opened the door.
"Make I cook am for you?"
He asked politely.
"No,thank you. You can have them for dinner"
" Ah no ma I no fit chop your food"
" I already lost my appetite.you can eat the indomie okay?"
"Ah,you sure?"
"Yes"
"Thank you ma"then he left.
Even tho I was nothing but a stranger at lorra's place...I shouldn't be treated like I was some hungry begger with no choice...why was she being unnecessarily rude and harsh towards me. It was not like I asked Femi to bring me here...and according to their Conversations which I overheard...she was the one that wanted me to come to her place because of her insecurities.what a bitch..
Because she didn't show me to a room were I could sleep...and I didn't want to bother her..I decided to lay on the couch and sleep.
